ed, that will, before many years elapse, form a 
wonderful and picturesque mass of vegetation and 
rock-work. 
In Swan Point are two small pools of water; 
for they cannot be designated by the title of lakes. 
But, oh! how enchanting and fairy like! They 
would require a more poetic pen than 
the writer’s to describe. The rocky 
walls (boulders) seem as if placed b}^ 
the hand of nature ages ago. The trees 
and shrubs seem as if kissing the wa- 
ter, while the lights and shadows are 
marvelous. The photos of these beau- 
tiful bits of water fail to give anything 
like an adequate idea of their quiet 
and dignified beauty. 
A few copings around burial lots are 
still to be seen, but Mr. McCarthy tries 
to make the best of them, hiding their 
stiff and formal appearance by planting 
Euonymous and dwarf plants along the 
front of the most visible portions, an 
idea worthy of imitation. 
While giving every credit to Mr. 
McCarthy for his artistic ability, yet it 
must not be forgotten that nature has 
been most bountiful in supplying climate condi- 
tions that enable him to perform his charming 
work. To use his own word, “The locality of 
Swan Point is the natural home of the Laurel, Aza- 
lea, Rhododendron and other evergreen trees and 
shrubs.” He is thus able to raise from seed 
thousands of young shrubs which in many other 
places it would be impossible to do. Still the ob- 
ject lesson is there. Plant more shrubs and low 
growing trees and do away with the forest-like ap- 
pearance of too many of our cemeteries.

The intermediate posts are next set across the 
ends in proper line. The end posts of the 6 inch 
rows should have been flattened on the south side 
to receive the sheathing, before having been set. 
The south door jambs are now to be set. d'hey 
should be plumbed carefully each way, mitered at 
the top to receive the gable end bar to which they 
are nailed. They are also to be nailed to the posts 
beside them. The door sill and upper piece of the 
frame are then put in, but the doors are not hung 
until the house is finished. In setting the jambs care 
must be taken to have the north edge of the groove 
for glass in their sides, meet exactly the same edge 
of the under glass groove in the end bar (Fig. 14-2.) 
The end wall plate is then to be set. It is car- 
ried on the top of the posts after they are cut ofi 
square to the proper height. 
Fig. I 5 is a section of the end wall plate, part of 
vertical bar and part of wall. 14 is the plate, rest- 
ing on the post, 15 ship lap, 16 drop siding ,13 is 
the end bar, 4 its tongue and i the vertical glass 
in place. 
The shoulder in the plate against which the glass 
(i) rests must be directly under the north edge of 
the glass groove in gable end bar (Fig. 14-2) and 
must accurately meet the north edge of the glass 
groove in the door jambs. The east end of the 
plate is fitted against the gutter sill, its upper an- 
gle touching the lower side of gable end bar. It 
runs across from there perfectly level and makes a 
square joint with the side of door jamb. 
It is then run from the other side of door to op- 
posite gutter sill (or plate, if used) after which the
